Revised plans for QMC helipad

25 October 2017 - Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has announced that it is to postpone its plans to build a raised deck helipad in car park three at Queen’s Medical Centre. A new opportunity has recently arisen for a proposed new emergency care centre on the site, which would include an integral helipad

Peter Homa, NUH Chief Executive, said: “As our plans to redevelop QMC in the years to come have progressed, an even better solution has emerged to build a helipad as part of a new urgent and emergency care centre development.
“The Trust remains committed to having an onsite helipad at QMC to ensure our most critically-injured major trauma patients get the best possible clinical outcomes. Our future ambition is to build a new urgent and emergency care centre with a helipad that provides direct access to our Emergency Department.

Subject to the necessary regulatory and treasury approvals, we anticipate that the helipad could be constructed within five years.”
